Established Premium Tanning Salon Business In Bicester Oxfordshire For Sale

Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK
Asking Price:
£115,000
Turnover:
On request
Net Profit:
On request

An excellent opportunity to take over a fully operational tanning salon in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

The salon is modern, well presented and ready for a new owner to step in and continue trading from day one. The sale includes four high-quality tanning units, all fixtures and fittings, reception equipment, the customer database, website, social media channels and the complete salon setup.

The business also uses a salon management system, including its own branded mobile app, online bookings, customer accounts, device control and detailed reporting.

In addition to the tanning business, part of the premises is sublet to other professionals. This provides an additional income stream and helps reduce the overall cost of the rent.

The salon has an established customer base and a strong local presence. It would suit an owner-operator, an investor, or an existing salon group looking to expand into Bicester and the wider Oxfordshire area.

There is still good potential to grow the business further through more active local marketing, memberships, promotions and greater day-to-day owner involvement.

The salon is being sold for private reasons. One of the business partners who was expected to manage the location is no longer able to give it the time required, while the other owners are already committed to running their own salons and businesses.

A significant amount has already been invested in the premises, equipment, technology and branding, making this a genuine ready-to-run business.

Property Information

Property:

Leasehold

Leasehold Rent:

£60,000 per annum

Location:

The business is located in Bicester, Oxfordshire, a growing and well-known market town which attracts both local residents and visitors from the wider area. The salon is situated within easy reach of the internationally recognised Bicester Village designer outlet, helping to support strong local awareness and regular customer movement around the town. The location is convenient for customers from Bicester and the surrounding Oxfordshire villages.

Premises Details:

The salon is located on the ground floor and has been fitted out specifically for the business. The premises include four private tanning rooms, a reception and waiting area, a toilet, a small kitchen and a separate office or staff room.

Part of the premises is sublet to an independent business providing massage and nail services. This creates an additional income stream and helps reduce the overall cost of the rent.
The salon is fully equipped and ready for a new owner to continue trading immediately

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

There is strong potential for further growth under a more hands-on owner. The salon has recently installed the XTan management system and already has its own branded mobile app available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

This creates excellent opportunities for targeted promotions, push notifications, online bookings, memberships, loyalty campaigns and direct communication with customers.

Further growth could also come from stronger local marketing, social media activity, partnerships with gyms and beauty businesses, increased retail product sales and wider promotion of the salon throughout Bicester and the surrounding Oxfordshire area.

The current owners operate several other businesses and have not been able to give this location the consistent day-to-day focus required, leaving clear potential for a dedicated new owner to increase sales and profitability.

Competition / Market:

There is limited direct competition in Bicester and no other local salon currently offers the same level of equipment and technology. This Tanning Studio is widely considered to be the best-equipped tanning salon in the area, with high-quality tanning units, a modern interior and an advanced digital customer experience.

The newly installed XTan system, together with the salon’s own branded mobile app, online bookings and customer account features, gives the business a strong advantage over more traditional operators.

Reasons for selling:

The business is being sold for private reasons. One of the partners originally intended to take a more active role in managing the salon but is no longer able to commit the time required. The remaining owners are already focused on operating their other established salons and businesses.

Trading hours:

56 hours per week
